Wait, what's a Startup Weekend?
Startup Weekend is part of UP Global, the biggest entrepreneurship movement in the world with more than 2000 events per year taking place in 600+ cities globally.

Startup Weekend is a 54h event designed to make you live in the skin of an entrepreneur for a weekend. On a Friday night, those who have an idea about a business they want to set up pitch in front of the other attendees (it's laid back and we're a friendly bunch, don't you worry).
Attendees select which idea they want to work on and form teams. Teams go through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation helped by notorious industry mentors. On Sunday, all teams present their ideas in front of a larger audience and a sharp-looking, sharp-minded jury. That's right, you go from an idea to an actual functioning startup in hours! There won't be much sleep but you'll meet people you don't bump into on a regular Friday night in the pub from data scientists to coding enthusiasts.

Whether you are looking for feedback on a idea, a co-founder, a date (kidding, kind of), specific skill sets, or a team to help you execute, Startup Weekends is the perfect environment in which to test your idea and take the first steps towards launching your own startup. Right, come on now, no talk all action! Questions? Tweet @sw_bcn and we'll get you startup-ready.
